Ali Hossein Ghazi-Zadeh, a member of Iran International’s editorial board, said the option of the Strait of Hormuz has been removed from the table of the United States’ negotiations with the Islamic Republic, and that Trump is no longer making a deal over Hormuz.

He added: If the Islamic Republic says it will open the Strait of Hormuz, it must show that it can stop the passage of oil tankers.
